Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Joseph Wardropper Marriage
« on: Wednesday 28 October 09 19:31 GMT (UK)  »
that would be great my email is c.wardroper@btopenworld.com

If you ever do find a marriage or death for Joseph I would be grateful if you could let me know. I'm 80 % sure Joseph is my great great great grandfather, if he is I can trace the line back many generation before him to Chester Le Street

Thanks Claire

Hi Tony

I've never managed to find a marriage certificate for Joseph and Mary Jane ( Jane) or a death cert for Joseph.

I do though know a lot about Mary Jane and her son Robert William Wardroper ( he seems to have changed the spelling of his name some time between 1851 and his marriage in 1864)

I think Mary Jane's surname was Collins her father was Williams Collins a Taylor and she seemed to call herself either Jane or Mary Jane. I think the 1851 census says she comes from Derby. I don't think the family has any links with Tunbridge - the railway station opened in May 1842 and Robert was born Nov 1842. William Patterson (step father) was also a train driver and moved around lots - he came from South Shields not far from where Joseph came from and they were only a few year apart in age. I've often wondered if they Knew each other ?

if you want anymore info on William Patterson , Robert Wardroper or post 1842 info on Mary Jane let me know. I have photo's of Robert in later life.

Please let me know if you do get any more info on Mary Jane pre 1842  or a marriage or death of Joseph.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Corbridge/Hexham Richely Look Up please

Hi Tony

I am  the great great great great grand daughter of Charlotte Richley born Corbridge abt 1794 who married a George Barras Wardropper  Mariner ( son of Robert Wardropper Butcher of Chester le Street ) in Sunderland 1816.
She is listed on the 1841 census as Charlotte Wardropper and also her daughter Elizabeth Wardropper both listed in Corbridge.
My problem relative who I have have very little details of is her son Joseph Wardropper born Sunderland 1817 Engine Driver .
 Are any names familiar as seems unlikely we can both be related to Wardroper ( wardroppers ) and Richleys with out a common link ??
